Lyle Lovett is the latest release from Country Superstar Lyle Lovett, and I can only think of one word to describe it... AWESOME!

I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Lyle Lovett. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Lyle Lovett's most impressive releases ever.

This is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it my highest recommendation. It's quite simply great listening. A must buy for the Country fan.

While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 - Farther Down The Line, track 6 - If I Were The Man You Wanted, and track 10 - Closing Time.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Cowboy Man. Good stuff!
